A bearing system includes a bearing, a shaft extending in the bearing, and
a layer of nano-structured coating coated on one of the bearing and the
shaft. A space is formed between the bearing and the shaft, and a
lubricant is filled in the space. The lubricant is made of polymer
material with hydrophilic and hydropholic properties. The nano-structured
coating has a high surface tension which results in the coating being
capable of adsorbing the lubricant to form a layer of lubricant film
between the coating and the other of the bearing and the shaft, thereby
reducing possibility of direct contact between the lubricant and the
other of the shaft and the bearing. Thus, loss of the lubricant is
reduced to avoid contacting frication between the shaft and the bearing.
Accordingly, noise generated by the bearing system is decreased and life
of the bearing system is extended.
